One more point, through this forum I have found out about Dehavalland motors a true alternative to the unmentionable company and also found another car engineer with a genuine interest in good work and the development of these models.
That has to be a good thing surely! If the relationship progresses then a new product may be available you never know. Car makers and engineers spend millions of pounds developing models for improved safety and the enjoyment of the end user with the end result being profit for the company and a happy customer. Sadly in some cases the development of the safety and cost refinement has lost some of the passion of the original coach builders who's flare often side stepped safety for aesthetics. How often were cars better at going than stopping but we loved them, poor handling, terrible lights, shocking gear changes but we loved them. With todays technological advances we can achieve far more than the small companies and builders of the past but we don't need to be misled by those only greedy for money with an eye to deceive the passionate along the way so dissipating our enthusiasm. I still say be very cautious as 'all that glitters is not gold' or in this case 'Is red will ever hit the road'.
